Go tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the moun-tain | That Jesus Christ is a-born Verse In the time of David, Some called him a king, If a child is true born The Lord will hear him singing Go tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the moun-tain | That Jesus Christ is a-born Verse When I was a sinner I sought both night and day I asked the Lord to help me And he showed me the way Go tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the moun-tain | That Jesus Christ is a-born Verse He made me a watchman Upon a city wall And if I am a good soul I am the least of all Go tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the moun-tain | That Jesus Christ is a-born
